The pandemic produced by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is causing health and economic havoc throughout the world, forcing the redirection of resources to reduce contagion and overcome economic problems.
In this sense, they began to build and use disinfection cabins to eliminate SARS-CoV-2 externally, which were placed at the entrances of hospitals to spray disinfectants with disinfectants to people who entered and left the place, despite the fact that the products used are enabled to be used on objects and for a certain time, which represented a risk to the health of the user, so a study was required to establish the related dangers and advise against their use.
